CoolFire Trainer AR-15 "SideKick" Dry Fire Recoil System - Custom Platform with Visible Blue Laser (CBAR15-CUS-BLUE)
Eliminate training gaps and practice with maximum realism using the CoolFire Trainer AR-15 "SideKick" (CBAR15-CUS-BLUE). Standard dry-fire practice falls short by omitting recoil and forcing you to disrupt your presentation to manually cycle the charging handle. The SideKick changes the game, converting your custom-built AR-15 into a gas-operated, recoil-generating tactical training simulator.
Whether you are running multi-target drills, barricade transitions, or working on defensive movement inside your home, this kit delivers functional, high-fidelity feedback. By replacing your standard barrel with a refillable CO2 reservoir, the system physically recoils the weapon and resets your trigger automatically for authentic follow-up shots.
This configuration is custom-profiled for non-mil-spec AR-15 receiver geometries and comes equipped with an integrated Visible Blue Laser. The blue laser pulse provides a crisp, instantaneous point of impact that prevents interference with red-dot optics and stands out vividly on advanced camera-based projection screens and digital shooting software. It is the definitive tool to master muzzle control, split times, and target transitions using your primary duty or competition platform—safely and cost-effectively.
